Q: How do the student microphones in the videoconference lecture theatres work?

A student presses the microphone button in front of them to alert the professor they have a question. The Take Next button on the lectern lights up in blue and a red light turns on just above the centre monitor to indicate there is a student question. The professor presses the button and waits for a few seconds until they hear the student question.

The Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3, and some other Samsung phones have a connection feature known as “Auto Network Switch” which may cause the "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow" error to occur. This "Auto Network Switch" setting will need to be disabled in order to connect to the card. To do this:

1. Open your phone's settings
2. Press the WiFi on the phone
3. Select Advanced and scroll down to the Auto Network Switch option
4. Uncheck the Auto Network Switch option.
5. Exit and this should fix the error.

Other Android devices may have slightly different options. Look for 'Check for internet service' or 'Avoid poor networks' in your Wifi and advanced Wifi settings and make sure that these are also disabled.
